Etymology
Cronartium is a scientific name for a group of rust fungi that attack pine trees. A helpful way to remember it is to break the name into Cron- (which you can think of like 'cone' for pine cones) and -ium (a common ending for group names), so Cronartium becomes a name for fungi connected to pines.
